Young kids use social media

Kids 12 years old or younger can access an Internet-friendly device to like someone’s comment or picture or request.

They can also ask people to be Internet friends without knowing much about them.

Students at Dudley Elementary are using social media and their parents should be aware of this, according to three educators who presented “Creating a Positive Digital Reputation” Thursday night at the school.

The statistics are frightening.

One of five children are sexually solicited over social media. One of 17 kids are harassed and one of 33 youngsters are asked to meet someone older than them.
